They say a mother will do anything for her child . . .
I’m living proof
This nightmare began when
I got the call every parent dreads. My daughter, Jenna, was
missing from her college campus. Of course, my mind went to
the worst place. After all, my late husband was a powerful
senator. Was this some political payback?
I call
in a favor and soon I’m partnered with an FBI sex
trafficking agent. He tells me local girls have been
disappearing for some time now, and he finally has a lead.
But what we find at that abandoned warehouse is something
out of a horror movie.
Werewolves! Two rival
packs, their alphas fighting, winner take
all––the pack and the trafficked girls. The
werewolves must replenish their breeders, recently decimated
by a virus that killed only the females.
But
Jenna’s been keeping a secret, which only makes two of
us. Though I should be angry, I know the lies I’ve
told play a huge role in why we’re here. I’ll do
anything to make it right. No way is my girl going to become
a sacrificial mate for the greater good––even if
she is the ‘chosen one.’ So, I do what any
mother would do, I take her place, offering myself to
Gideon, the winning alpha, as his mate.
Gideon’s goal is to live in harmony with the human
world, but there are others who exist for the power, for the
violence, and they don’t plan to let peace prevail.
There’s a civil werewolf war brewing and I am
right in the middle of it.
